I have a market that I invest in, in Texas that meets that 1% rule regularly.

I thought it would be like a credit card process, it sounds very much like a regular refi.

@Joe S.If you are looking for someone to purchase furniture, supplies, keyless lock, and set that up for you...then you might be able to ask your cleaner, handyman, or combination of both.If you are looking to determine if a home in a given market will make a good STR....I like to do that research myself.   

We spent almost $18,000 in appliances, flatscreens, bed frames, mattresses , furniture, supplies  etc.

Colorado Springs is predicted to keep growing, and I think the natural barriers of the mountains and water supply will result in cash flow to come.

It seems like in today's real estate market with limited supply, it is extremely difficult to appraise or accurately value a home (especially in New England/ Great Boston area where I'm from). 

@Gary Mazzarella for the most part land trusts, which are nothing more than a regular trust used to hold title to land, have been replaced by Limited Liability Companies.Before LLCs we’re available, limited partnerships and corporations where vehicles used but each had some negative tax consequences and ongoing costs and complications.
